Red Hot Chili Peppers Split!

Posted by Whit Honea

Hope you stocked up on blood, sugar, sex and magik, because the Red Hot Chili Peppers are off the menu.

In an interview with Rolling Stone lead singer Anthony Kiedis says that their last album Stadium Arcadium and subsequent tour may be their last, at least for some time.

In regard to the tour: "We were all emotionally and mentally zapped at the end of that run.”

“Cooler heads prevailed and the discussion at the end of our last tour was, ‘Let’s not do anything Red Hot Chili Peppers related for a minimum of one year, and just live and breathe and eat and learn new things.’

“I was about to have a brand new son. Flea is very inspired to re-up his musical direction and ability and skill and he wants to learn new stuff. John (Frusciante) has been firing away on his own, making different solo projects.

“And Chad (Smith) joined a jazz band and went to Japan. I’m just home, hanging out with this really cool little kid, learning how to surf.”

At least Everly Bear is getting some quality daddy time.  That's good stuff.

Enjoy your break Red Hot Chili Peppers, hope to see you again soon!

During the rolling stones interview anthony said they're taking a break for a year and not doing anything red hot chili peppers. He said they're just going to relax and spend time with family, then they'll be back.
